He has been on Prilosec for years. Also takes Reglen to help aid in the digestion. He takes in about 500 mls of water daily between his meds and feeds. He has not tried to eat anything by mouth since July. He went through 8 weeks of swallowing therapy last Sept and Oct. He was seeing a SLP in Wake Forest and had several tests done. They said he needs to swallow differently due to where is scar tissue build up is. All this got put on the back burner when he needed to get the teeth out asap and he let up on his exercises. The magnets sound like a great thing. Glad they are helping him.
